AV Translation:

22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;

23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)

24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.

1901 ASV Translation:

22 And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord

23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord),

24 and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.

Textual Issues: In 2:21-24 there are two textual differences between the Textus Receptus and the Nestle/Aland 26. The first is the spelling of the name "Moses". The Textus Receptus omits one letter. The second is in the phrase in 2:24 "in the Law of the Lord". The Textus Receptus omits the definite article "the".
